English Idiomatic Expression: “It Goes Without Saying”

Today’s idiomatic expression is ‘it goes without saying’, and here’s a typical way of using this phrase:

It goes without saying that you can function so much more effectively in an English speaking society if you use various idiomatic expressions in your daily conversations!

Basically you can use this phrase whenever you want to EMPHASIZE the fact that you’re going to mention something you consider a known fact, something that cannot be disputed.

If you’ve been following my online activities for a while, you’ll know that I feel strongly about English idiomatic expressions, collocations, other informal means of expression and their importance when it comes to developing a foreigner’s ability to speak fluently. That’s why ‘it goes without saying’ is the ideal phrase to use whenever I’m touching upon the subject of English fluency development.

Application of this phrase isn’t limited to a person’s personal beliefs and convictions however; you can also use it pretty much in all situations when you mention something that is a proven fact.

For example – “It goes without saying that your money is relatively safer in a bank account than hidden in your home safe.”

Everyone knows it’s a fact, so it’s not something that you just believe in, it’s something that doesn’t even require any further proof, so you may also use this phrase in similar situations.

But now it’s your turn to come up withsome sample sentences and do some spoken English practice.

I’m Robby, and I’m a non-native English speaker. Throughout my entire life I’ve always wanted to speak in English fluently, but because of the way English is taught in schools, I always struggled with my spoken English.

Then, one fine day, after years of constant pursuit of English fluency, I realized the key aspect of spoken English improvement – learning English phrases and word combinations instead of studying grammar rules and trying to construct sentences in your head from scratch!
